Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is set to visit Germany on April 21 to discuss a deal regarding technical assistance for six submarines worth Rs 80,000 crorewith a German company. The deal is being conducted under Project-75I. 

What is Project-75I, and how is it beneficial?

Project 75I is a significant project of the Indian Navy aimed at strengthening India's defence capabilities. The project involves the construction of six modern and conventional diesel-electric submarines. ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems of Germany will be the technical partner in this project.

The most significant feature of these submarines is their "Air Independent Propulsion" system. AIP is a technology that allows submarines to operate underwater for weeks without the use of air, while conventional (diesel-electric) submarines must surface every 1-2 days.

These submarines will be equipped with modern torpedoes and anti-ship cruise missiles like the BrahMos, enabling them to accurately strike enemy ships and land targets. They will help counter the Chinese threat in the Indian Ocean. The Indian Navy's fleet of six new submarines built with this technology will strengthen the Navy.
